hi mate ,the job wasnt that bad really once i found all the retaining screws ect , matrix was an easy item to change , then fitting it all back in was a pain trying to remember where all the wires went , didnt help things having to repair an existing bodge job on the radio wiring {done by a previuos owner} but all back in now and seems ok , flushed the system & added new coolant , overall a fairly good job that saved me a lot of wonga at the stealers ......

hope someone can help on this one !! my door / window strip is knackered so i thought 3ft of rubber cant be that dear !!!!! phoned my local vw dealer and they quoted me £49 each for pre 1991 & £148 each for 1991 onwards, all plus vat i asked them to re-check but got told that this was the correct price , surley this is a outrageous price and shouldnt be able to charge as much .. does anyone know any other suppliers of these rubbers ????????? :? :? :?
